While I was searching for photos for this post, I stumbled upon this image of Paz de la Huerta (which until now, has gone unnoticed) strolling through the streets of New York City last July. She looks positively normal, doesn’t she? I mean, beyond the visible bra and pantylines, but at least we know she’s wearing underwear here, which is probably something that she does without on a regular basis; that is, unless she’s getting paid to model it. Regardless of her questionable habits, I adore the mess that is Paz, and I’ve been missing her a lot lately. Just last week, I noted that the red carpet of the SAGs and Globes weren’t the same without Paz stumbling around with a smear of oddly colored lipstick and a total absence of eye makeup.
Even though she’d probably be a (drunken) terror to deal with in real life, I’ve always appreciated that Paz doesn’t play to the standards of conventional Hollywood beauty (even if that means she often looks like trash) and simply refuses to play the Hollywood game, period. Unfortunately, Paz may have reaped serious career repercussions for her behavior, or maybe the producers of “Boardwalk Empire” just got tired of her crap because they’ve written her character, Lucy Danziger, out of the third season of the show. That would also explain why Paz hasn’t been on hand to support the shows during the awards season.
Boardwalk Empire has whacked Paz de la Huerta.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the HBO mob hit has opted not to pick up the actress’ Season 3 contract option, which means viewers have likely seen the last of her character, Lucy Danziger.
Introduced in Season 1 as Nucky’s (Steve Buscemi) unhinged mistress, Lucy spent much of Season 2 pregnant and shacked up with Michael Shannon’s Van Alden (the baby daddy). Shortly after giving birth, she went on a formula run and never returned, leaving the baby in Van Alden’s care.
An HBO rep declined to comment for this story.
De la Huerta’s exit brings to four the number of original Empire cast members not returning for Season 3; she joins Michael Pitt, Dabney Coleman and Aleksa Palladino (all of whom were killed off in Season 2′s final hours).
To fill the void, producers are introducing several new characters, including a rival to Nucky played by Bobby Cannavale.

Poor Paz! I wonder if this has anything to do with that rumor that her camp took the booze away from her. While she’s got a handful of films in various staes of production [including pr0ny looking roles in both Inferno and (NSFW poster) Nurse 3D], it’s going to be difficult for her to come back from getting sacked from “Boardwalk Empire.” Now she won’t be able to claim “I’m a real actress — HBO!” while getting arrested.

This doesn’t surprise me in the least.
I’ve heard she’s a nightmare deal with on set and her substance abuse is a problem for everyone forced to deal with her…

Didn’t she give away a plotline during one of her drunken interviews? That probably didn’t go over well with HBO.
Next season won’t be the same without Paz and Pitt!

Remember the blind item about the drunken starlet who was sexually harassing PAs on the set of her cable television show? I believe it involved her dropping her tampons on the floor and refusing to pick them up herself.
Yea, she’s a trainwreck. But so is Boardwalk Empire.

I’ve heard rumors that she and Michael were particularly hard to work with, hence the ax?
And what in the world is going on with her folded skin in the first photo?

Paz was born with a cystic hygroma in her right pit. It’s returned several times, which has resulted in many surgeries:

Please stop! I’m still mourning Michael’s departure… His pouty hot lips will be grandly missed.
Sorry, nothing to say on Paz. She just looks and constantly acts like a soft-prön actress.

I think I liked it better when “stars” were seen and not heard. Why do they all have to get on Twitter? Why do any public people get on Twitter? Inevitably, they say stupid sh!t they later have to retract and/or apologize for…

No, it’s not just you. She’s a horrendous mess, and even cleaned up (which apparently isn’t that often) is unfortunate looking.

She has horrible taste in clothes and make-up, in addition to her other trainwrecky talents.

She’s in Lana De Rey’s video that I saw last week, her falling on the street and everyone going, “She’s okay, she’s okay.”
She’s clearly NOT okay.
I feel kind of bad for her, unlike LaLohan, she seems like she has issues but not as entitled.
I am also doubtful that she will get proper help. Sometimes when these shows snag someone from obscurity they often don’t have the proper abilities to change.

Well, her story arc is over: she had that sanctimonious, hypocritical prick’s baby (per their deal) and “went out to get formula” so she could audition for that role the singer dude told her about when he came to visit her (since aforementioned prick wouldn’t let her leave the house while pregnant).
Prick got the baby; she got her life back. Done and done.

She’s a mess and not even in the least bit flattering way as this article tried to present her…

Acting aside (I’ve never seen her on screen so I can’t comment), she’s one of the most disgusting looking women I’ve seen. She ALWAYS looks greasy and in need of a good shower, her makeup choices are hideous, and she has no sense of decency. Why are her clothes constantly falling off her or worn lopsided?

She looks “dirty” as in unclean, cheap, skanky, and used like a skid road hooker. There is nothing attractive about her at all.
